  • I'm in a situation where my mum lives in Somerset, and has various underlying health conditions, remission from cancer, diabetes, on Warfarin for high blood pressure and angina, osteoporosis and an overactive thyroid.

    I've taken the decision to no travel down from London to see her, I live in Camberwell and Southwark has the highest number of Coronavirus cases. She also doesn't want me to visit as it is probably too risky, I think her contracting Coronavirus would not be at all good!

    My mum has neighbours ho can help, i speak on the phone every day with her, setting her up with Skype would be difficult to enhance contact etc. I go through phases of wondering if i'll ever see my mum again, to thinking maybe i'll physically see her again sometime in the summer.

    Is anyone else in a similar situation where they can't see the people in their lives that they love and how are they coping with this?

  • It's tough isn't it. I don't anticipate seeing my parents or in-laws (who I like very much) until at least late summer. They're all pretty fit, but they are in their 70s. My guess is even that would only happen if we get the antibody test to show that we've had the coronavirus and couldn't be contagious any more. In the meantime I think that we'll just up the number of skype and phone calls.
